T Stands for Tisanes

Last week there were several comments about Tisanes. Most of the comments referred to the fact you had no idea what a tisane was. Since I didn't have time to take new photos for today because I spent my day helping my neighbor find homes for or trash massive amounts of cosmetics, old make-up, beauty products, old and some never used skin care products, never used... So let's head to my herbal garden as it looked last year. I'm actually glad I used last year's photos because my herb garden looked much better back then. Since this post is all about tisanes, let's start with what they are. According to Coffee, Tea at about. Simply put, tisane is a fancy word for "herbal tea. " Actually, tisane (also, “ptisan”) is the better and more accurate term because most herbal "teas" by definition contain no actual leaves from the tea bush. Tisanes are often the most basic and most commonly employed herbal medicines, not only due to its ease of preparation, but also because of its easily absorbable nature. More often than not, most herbal remedies will call for the creation of a tisane before any other method, simply because tisanes are easily made, even by novice herbalists. What's been brewing (pun intended) at your place this week. Please join us with your drink related post. Anything is possible as long as you can relate it, in some way, back to a drink. Photos do not have to be taken on Tuesday (or even this year, which is obvious from this post), but you must link below in order for Bleubeard, the "T" gang, and me to visit. Fascinating information about tisanes/ptisans(tea-zahns). I drink tea and coffee. I drink de-caf tea and coffee. I drink fruit 'teas' and mint 'teas'. ) but have not ried many of the others you mentioned like bark teas. Thank you for bringing it up. It's a shame your tisane wasn't as nice as it looked. What if you'd added a touch of honey perhaps, or a sugar. perhaps that would have made it better. Happy T Day Elizabeth :D. I'd be lost with out my herbal teas :) I usually dry my herbs and put them in press & seal tea bags. Then make my drink just like a hot tea or a brewed ice tea. Sometimes I will place the fresh herbs directly in the teapot and pour the hot water over them and let them steep. I like stronger teas so I let them steep for at least 3 minutes and sometimes longer. Love your teapot ♥. Your herbal tea does look beautiful, and I am sure it is healthy, bu I think coffee s still my choice. It looks like a lot of work, too, with picking and brewing etc, but well worth it if it tastes good. I do drink some teas in winter, with ginger and lemon etc, but usually make them from tea bags. Thanks for showing all the steps in brewing your tisane, and for the good tip about not using aluminium. Have a happy T day, hugs, Valerie. Hello and Happy T Day. Thank you so much for linking me up today. I remember this post and it was just as good the second time around. Nice photos again too. Hope you enjoy your day and T visits around with everyone. I didn't get my pages done in time for last week's posts, happy to share Dianne's cards with you today.

FINALLY got the teapot and teacup!!

I have had- so far, knock on wood- AMAZING luck with Heidi Kenney's 'Yummy Breakfast' and 'Yummy Dessert' lines- not only have I not gotten ANY doubles (they're blind-boxed) but I've gotten only ones I was hoping for!
And, finally, I can add the teapot and teacup to my collection!! I was a little confused, as they're flocked... Why would a teapot and teacup be fuzzy?!? But whatevs! I still LOVE THEM!

Blossomed in nearly boiling water from a tea ball. A curious sort of tea (maybe green) but only a so-so picture which might reside in flickr only briefly. These unusual flowers (unusual to me) are much easier to see in the original size picture.

It's so cool.
However, the stupid sales-lady was like 'Oh nooo of course there won't be ANY problem steeping even though there's only 6 tiny slits in the filter!' Well I got news for you lady! Not only does it take longer to steep, it's next to impossible to completely clean looseleaf tea out of those slits!
However, since the spout is FREAKING SWEET and has a little glass droplet on the end, it doesn't drip when I pour it. AWESOME. So the majority of the time I've ended up using my little metal ball filter and everything works out peachy. :)
